Static stability and control: equilibrium requirements; longitudinal stability requirements; neutral points; manoeuvering flight; control forces and control requirements; lateral static stability certification requirements. Dynamic stability: axis systems; governing equations; phugoid and short period modes; lateral dynamic modes. Closed-loop control. Prerequisite(s): MAAE 3300 and MAAE 4500 or MAAE 3502 (taken before 1999-2000).Also offered at the graduate level, with different requirements, as MECH 5101, for which additional credit is precluded.Lectures three hours a week.
